I’m sharing this post to help provide clarity for other European, service-based businesses evaluating Calendly.
Over the past months, I’ve had multiple conversations with Calendly support regarding EU-native payment methods—specifically iDeal, which is the standard payment method in the Netherlands and widely expected by customers during booking flows.
Through these discussions, support confirmed the following:
-
Support for iDeal and similar EU payment methods is not currently available in Calendly’s booking payments.
-
This request has already been submitted in the past by multiple users and exists as an internal feature request.
-
Support can only add additional votes/requests to this item.
-
The feature is not currently on the product roadmap and has no ownership or planned timeline.
This aligns with older community topics (e.g. posts from over a year ago) where the same request was acknowledged and marked as a feature request, but without subsequent implementation.
Calendly works very well for scheduling, notifications (email/SMS), and general booking flows. However, for EU-based service businesses (such as wellness, salons, clinics, and other local services), the lack of EU-native payment options like iDeal is an important limitation to be aware of upfront, as credit cards are not universally adopted or expected in these markets.
This post is not intended as a complaint or feature demand, but as transparent documentation of the current product scope, so other European users can make informed decisions based on their region and business model.
If others have similar use cases, feel free to add your perspective or +1 the request.
